It was a beautiful Saturday morning, albeit a little humid. Can you believe this is the last weekend in May? Before you know it, people will be ramping up the mileage for a fall marathon! We had 20 folks show up and take off before the Friends of the Wissahickon 5-miler started:

Racing Update - Spring Lake 5-Miler, May 23, 2009 - NC Tom had another outstanding performance last Saturday. He finished the Spring Lake 5-Miler in a time of 32:54:04 for 134th place overall out of 7684 finishers. This was also consistent with his racing record so far this year, and once again he won his age group hands down! The race results don't break out the age categories for awards, but the next finisher between the ages of 60 and 69 years was Harold Nolan, 62, with a time of 33:35:73. Well done, NC Tom!
